Quote:IF this scenario came to fruition, that would mean a huge improvement for this team especially in the 2nd half of the season.

 

That means we should be more optimistic going into next season rather than focusing on the draft.

 

I don't see it that way, especially if the wins continue to be similar as the wins over the Titan/ Texan's. 

 

All that would be happening would be us sucking less than the sucky opponent, as our schedule is all-time easy over the last 8 games. 

 

We would be under the impression that the team was making strides, and then next year when the schedule got back to normal, we'd continue losing again and wouldn't likely to have been able to gain our franchise QB, and every pick in the draft would be mid rounds, ergo likely lesser players. 

 

So what good would come of making the playoffs in that fashion? Not much. 

 

If we get the top pick this draft, and get the franchise QB, and high picks in every round, then making the playoffs won't be the novelty that it would be by making a faux run to them this year, it will be consistently expected and probably reached for the near future.
